Redline Brewhouse - Barrie, ON

The nearly 1L growler cans are an interesting idea.

?? What are these?

On their website, it appears they sell standard 473 ml cans.

Crowlers - a can growler.

Their core brands are in 473 cans and you can get a crowler fill of a seasonal (right now just the Boosted IPA).

Noticed some Redline beers showing up at BarHop.

Leather Interior (brown ale conditioned on vanilla and almonds) is really quite nice - I'd recommend giving it a try if you get the chance.

I second this sentiment. I thought it was delicious when I had it at Bar Hop 2.

I third that. It's available in cans too at the brewpub.

Clutch (APA - a very solid one in my opinion) will be coming to the LCBO. Sounds like they are still early in the process so not sure when it will be listed. Also - they will be releasing a Biere de Garde (brown) in January - I know Sawdust brewed one last year (I think), otherwise can't think of too many that have been brewed in Ontario (I'm sure people here can list off more).

Oast House has as well, but yes it is an underrepresented style.

Stack Brewery out of Sudbury also makes a good Biere de Garde.

Redline is hosting a 'Dark Beer' event on April 23rd. There will be beers from Sawdust City, Flying Monkeys, Indie Alehouse, Beer Lab London, Brimstone, and Redline. All the brewers will be hanging out (maybe except for 1) and chatting about the beer they brought.

Information about each beer will be coming in the next few weeks.

Just a heads up - I now work at Redline (just started a few weeks ago). I hope it's cool that I posted this here.

I don't think anyone will ever complain about brewery employees posting in their threads. Quite the opposite, I encourage it.

I frequently am up in Barrie due to family there and have been pretty happy with what Redline has been putting out. Leather Interior has been my standout favourite so far but everything else has been tasty. I try to make a visit to the brewpub as often as I can when I'm up there.

I'm being yanked up there soon and now may make it the 23rd. Will it be a ticketed event or just show up? Will the beers be one-offs or not each brewery's usual suspects?

As for the working at a brewery and posting here, I think that's great. I think though a tagline disclaimer about that would be best.

No tickets - you can just show up. The tap list so far is a mix of regular/seasonal/one-off (the list will be released before the date). Hopefully you can drop by - make sure to say hi if you see me.

Tagline disclaimer makes sense.

Hey Everyone,

On August 4th starting at 5pm, Redline will be doing an 8 tap feature at Bar Hop (King Street) to celebrate our 1 year anniversary.

Clutch will be the only core beer on tap - the other 7 taps will be seasonals/one-offs/new releases. I'll post the tap list here when it's finalized.

Hopefully some of you can make it out.

Cheers,
